Fox News pundit Sean Hannity says the answer to gun violence is to have retired police, secret service or military service members surround schools and shopping malls.

“I’d like to see the perimeter of every school in America surrounded, secured by retired police — which you are — retired Secret Service — which you are — military, and I want guys to donate 15 hours," Hannity told guest Dan Bongino last night. "I think we could cover every school, every hour, every day. Add a metal detector, and I think we’re going to have safer schools.

"Have one armed guard on every floor of every school, all over every mall, the perimeter, and inside every hall of every mall," he explained. "Now, that gives us an instant response opportunity that we normally wouldn’t have.”

Tweet Of The Day: Mars Is NOT Part Of The Moon

The Twitterverse is scratching its head over a tweet from Donald Trump (I know, not really a rare occasion) in which he says the Moon is part of Mars.
Using this photo because it makes as much sense as Trump saying the Moon is part of Mars

The Twitterverse is scratching its head over a tweet from "Extremely Stable Genius" Donald Trump (I know, not really a rare occasion) in which he says the Moon is part of Mars.

Note: the Moon is definitely NOT a part of Mars.

"For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!"

Trump Junior: "There Are No Crimes, Only Things People Did In 'Past Lives'"

During an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning, Donald Trump Jr. repeated his father's claim that the Mueller investigation is a 'witch hunt' and said folks like former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort were 'regular guys' who couldn't afford large lawyer fees.

During an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning, Donald Trump Jr. repeated his father's claim that the Mueller investigation is a 'witch hunt' and said folks like former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort were 'regular guys' who couldn't afford large lawyer fees.

He added that 'no actual crimes' have been found by the investigation, only "things that people did in past lives."

“I’ve been hearing this for two years — everyone is going to jail. Meanwhile, they haven’t actually found anything that relates to this. What they did was put incredible pressure on regular guys that couldn’t afford a million dollars in legal fees, and got them to slip up, say something incorrectly. They pretended they were their friends. There are no actual crimes. There’s only things that people did in past lives, in 2006 before we even thought we ever get into this crazy world, and that’s what it is. They’re touting these things as victories — it’s not; and it has been a total farce, the greatest witch hunt in American history.”



I'm not really sure what 'past lives' he's referring to, but if you broke the law, you broke it. And they have found crimes, and folks have pleaded guilty to them.

And the dates of these crimes range from the mid-2000s to as recent as 2016. So, 'past lives' sounds a lot longer ago than reality shows.

Plus, if the mid-2000s is too far back to consider crimes, why do the Trumps keep bringing up Bill Clinton's alleged affairs in the 1990s?

Financial experts say Manafort is worth upwards of $50 million, so I don't know that I would call him a 'regular' guy who can't afford his legal fees.

Junior also claimed there are "more hoax hate crimes" than there are actual hate crimes.

News Round-Up: November 28, 2018

• Hottie Dave Marshall is an openly gay pro-wrestler in Australia who uses his OnlyFans account to raise money for suicide prevention after his dad took his own life last year.
Dave Marshall and Ronnie
Some news items you might have missed:

• Hottie Dave Marshall is an openly gay pro-wrestler in Australia who uses his OnlyFans account to raise money for suicide prevention after his dad took his own life last year.

• Openly gay super-producer Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Pose, GLEE, Assassination of Gianna Versace) is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

• This far-right pundit says women become lesbians because they're too ugly to love. By that logic, he must be a screaming queen.

• Cher showed up at her own Broadway show - The Cher Show - last night, and the crowd lost its mind.

• Judy Sheindlin, more famous as TV's Judge Judy, made an astounding $147 million last year before taxes making Sheindlin the world’s highest-paid television host. The lion share of that was for selling the rights to her 5,200-episode library, as well as future episodes of the show, to CBS for an estimated $100 million.

• A man was brutally beaten, robbed & humiliated during an Instagram hook-up.

• A gay Virginia firefighter got married in 2014 and suddenly became the ridicule of not only fellow firefighters but his superiors. He was eventually filed for early retirement after being told he would be fired if he didn't resign. He's now suing for lost wages and benefits.

• Check out Upsahl's new music video, "The Other Team," about unrequited feelings and crushing on people that don't like you back.

The lyrics focus on those folks who are swinging for somebody else's ‘other team,’ so there's lots of missed connections between characters throughout the video. Definitely has some ‘Breakfast Club’ vibes, so it really takes you back to high school and the whirlwind of emotions that go with it

Trump Rants At Reports His Chief Of Staff Calls Him "An Idiot"

Donald Trump

Earlier today I shared that NBC News had spoken to several folks in the White House that say Chief of Staff John Kelly has referred to Donald Trump as an "idiot" on several occasions and could depart his position as soon as July.

As the story began to dominate the evening news, the Trumpster was clearly disturbed that anyone might view his administration (where people quit or are fired on a weekly basis) as anything but "smooth."

Calling the story "unhinged," Trump got in a swipe at the ongoing investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller ("witch hunt") while bragging about "great Energy and unending Stamina."

Classic Trump.

And hey - it's just Monday!

Rick Santorum: These Kids Should Learn CPR Instead Of Protesting


Eternal douche nozzle Rick Santorum told a panel on CNN today that kids are "looking to someone else to solve their problem" when they should be taking individual action like "taking CPR classes."

It's worth noting that, while CPR is useful for heart stoppage, the shooting victim of an AR-15 with multiple holes ripped through their body would probably lose even more blood faster if someone started pumping on their heart.

In late February, during another panel discussion on CNN Santorum pointed to “broken homes without dads” as being something that is “common in these shootings.”

Host Jake Tapper pointed out a flaw in Santorum’s theory, as far as the Parkland shooting was concerned. “His dad had died,” Tapper told Santorum. “It wasn’t a ‘broken home.'”

#idiot

It's so strange to me that conservatives, who used to champion rising up and taking a stand, all seem so opposed to these students raising their voices.

Watch below.



Twitter jumped on the comment including Parkland senior Emma Gonzalez who trolled Santorum in righteous fashion:

Trump Furious At WH Spokesperson For Giving Stormy Daniels Story "Steroids"


According to CNN sources, Donald Trump was apparently furious at White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for addressing a question about porn star Stormy Daniels at a White House press briefing.

CNN's John Acosta shared with his colleagues: "A source close to White House says Trump is upset with @PressSec Sarah Sanders over her handling of Stormy Daniels questions yesterday. “POTUS is very unhappy,” the source said. “Sarah gave the Stormy Daniels storyline steroids yesterday,” the source added.

During Wednesday’s press briefing, Sanders was asked by reporter Jeff Zeleny if Trump approved the payment made in October 2016 by his lawyer Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels 11 days before the election.

Sanders answered, “This case has already been won in arbitration, and anything beyond that, I would refer you to the president’s outside counsel.”

Another reporter followed up with, “You said that there’s arbitration that’s already been won — by whom and when?”

“By the president’s personal attorneys, and for details on that I’d refer you to them. I can share that the arbitration was won in the president’s favor," Sanders replied.

As many news outlets quickly pointed out, by acknowledging Trump winning some arbitration against Daniels, we have tacit confirmation that there's some sort of agreement between Daniels and Trump.

If there were no agreement, there wouldn't be anything to arbitrate.

Oops.

Virginia: Trump Jr. Urges Republicans To Vote For Republican On Wrong Day - TWICE

Donald Trump Jr.
As voters in Virginia are heading to the polls today to vote, Donald Trump Jr. thought he would do his part to help the Republican candidate for governor, Ed Gillespie.

The junior Trump tweeted out messages like, "Let's take @EdWGillespie across the finish line tomorrow! Virginia: get out and vote for Ed  & entire GOP ticket #VAGov #VA."

The only problem is: today is the election, not tomorrow.



And Jr. tweeted the wrong day TWICE!

Needless to say, the Twitterverse had a field day:

Dr. Ben Carson: "Poverty Is A State Of Mind"

Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
The New York Times reports that the current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson who has no background in housing, told Armstrong Williams at SiriusXM Radio that poverty is "a state of mind."



“I think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind,” he said, according to a transcript of the interview that was released on Wednesday. “You take somebody that has the right mind-set, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and I guarantee in a little while they’ll be right back up there.” He added that helping people may not better their lives. “You take somebody with the wrong mind-set, you can give them everything in the world — they’ll work their way right back down to the bottom,” Mr. Carson said.

And Twitter had a field day:

Donald Trump's "Great Memory" Can't Remember Famous Muslim Athletes


Although Donald Trump says his memory is "one of the all-time great memories," he tweeted that he didn't know of any Muslim sports heroes.

I'm guessing that memory isn't all that since he's met Muhammad Ali many times.

Oh, and then there's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal... That's just off the top of my head, and I'm not even a sports guy.

Rick Santorum: Equal Rights For LGBTs Could Make Kids Want To Be Transgender


Virulently anti-gay GOP White House hopeful Rick Santorum recently called in to The Steve Malzberg Show with the inane idea that LGBT rights bills could lead children to consider “maybe” becoming transgender - as if being trans is something one "becomes" rather than something one is.

“I don’t know why children at that age — why this is even an issue, the idea that we are introducing this type of real dangerous confusion for young people at this early age, do we really care about what we’re doing to millions of children who don’t have gender confusion and basically introducing the subject and saying, ‘maybe you should, maybe this is something you should start thinking about at age seven.’ I mean this is really dangerous and it’s going too far because it is having an impact on not just folks who may be in a difficult situation at an early age but many who would never have been in that situation but now are being confronted with it.”

Congressman Louie Gohmert: Put Gay Couples On An Island To See If They Die Out


While speaking at Liberty University last week, anti-LGBT Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert repeated his call to test his theory that same-sex relationships are "unnatural."

“Let’s just take a totally secular approach to this. Congress is good about having studies; how about if we take four heterosexual couples and put them on an island where they have everything they need to live and exist and we take four couples of just men and put them on an island where they have all they need to survive and then let’s take four couples of just women and put them on an island and then lets come back in 100 years and see which one nature favors.”

Of course, the same could be said about infertile couples or seniors who are past the age of reproduction.

But logic never gets in the way of Mr. Gohmert.

Fox News' Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Sandra Bland Could Have Used Cigarette As A Weapon


I kid you not. Hasselbeck actually said this in all seriousness. This is not The Onion.

Speaking to former New York Police Department officer John Raffery, Fox News personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck suggested that the police officer caught on dash cam video asked Sandra Bland to exit her car because he was afraid Bland would wield her cigarette as a weapon.

Via Raw Story:

Rafferty said that Trooper Brian Encinia was placed on administrative duty by his department. They acknowledged that the officer stepped over the line in his violent arrest of Bland, who had merely changed lanes without using a signal.

“It appears, looking at this, because she didn’t put out the cigarette next thing he knows, he’s asking the person to step out of the vehicle,” Rafferty said about Encinia. “You can’t take it personal. It’s the job.”

“But, what if, I mean, there are times, I’m sure, someone has, in the history of this land, used a cigarette against a police officer,” said Hasselbeck, “maybe chucked it at him, pushed it at him.”

Author Of "Kill The Gays" Bill In California Tries For Constitutional Amendment

Matt McLaughlin, author of the proposed (now dead) "Sodomite Suppression Act" in California, has come back with a new tactic to try and legalize killing gays with "bullets to the head."

Instead of a law, his new approach is to file the idea as a constitutional amendment, which he thought she would have to clear for signature gathering.

And he still doesn't see anything wrong with his idea. He says being gay has been a crime for centuries.

Kamala Harris, California Attorney General, had this to say: “Anyone who will take up their own time, or anyone else’s time, advocating for murder of innocent people in a way that is so fueled by bigotry and hate is someone whose intelligence we should question.”

Mike Huckabee Compares Being Gay To "Lifestyle Choices" Like Drinking, Swearing


2016 political hopeful Mike Huckabee, appearing on CNN's State Of The Union, compared homosexuality to drinking, swearing and other "lifestyle" choices.

From the interview with Dana Bash:

“People can be my friends who have lifestyles that are not necessarily my lifestyle. I don’t shut people out of my circle or out of my life because they have a different point of view. I hope the party doesn’t change its overall view, but the very fact that I talk about relationships I have with friends who are gay, indicate that I’m not a person who shuts everybody out around me who disagrees.”

“I don’t drink alcohol, but gosh — a lot of my friends, maybe most of them, do. You know, I don’t use profanity, but believe me, I’ve got a lot of friends who do. Some people really like classical music and ballet and opera — it’s not my cup of tea."

“I’d like to think that there’s room in America for people who have different points of view without screaming and shouting and wanting to shut their businesses down. What worries me in this new environment we’re in, it’s not just that someone might disagree, they don’t want to argue with me, even take a different point of view. They want to close someone’s business down.”

PETA Slaps Back At Sarah Palin Over Dog Photo


So, earlier this week Sarah Palin, former-half term governor of Alaska, posted the above photo of her child Trig, praising his ability to problem-solve and overcome roadblocks - i.e. reach the kitchen sink by standing on the family dog.

May 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward. Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for "up!", found me and a lazy dog blocking his way. He made his stepping stone.

I think the message of the picture seems to be to step on anyone who gets in your way. Rather accurate coming from the Palin camp.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) issued a statement criticizing the treatment of the dog in this manner:

It’s odd that anyone—let alone a mother—would find it appropriate to post such a thing, with no apparent sympathy for the dog in the photo. Then again, PETA, along with everyone else, is used to the hard-hearted, seeming obliviousness of this bizarrely callous woman, who actually thought it appropriate to be filmed while turkeys were being slaughtered right behind her in full view of the camera.

Palin, always one to try and have the last (if inarticulate word) came back with this snarky comment to PETA:

Did you go as crazy when your heroic Man-of-Your-Lifetime, Barack Obama, revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat?

Aren’t you the double-standard radicals always opposing Alaska’s Iditarod – the Last Great Race honoring dogs who are born to run in wide open spaces, while some of your pets “thrive” in a concrete jungle where they’re allowed outdoors to breathe and pee maybe once a day? (http://iditarod.com/ http://www.irondog.org/)

Aren’t you the same herd that opposes our commercial fishing jobs, claiming I encourage slaying and consuming wild, organic healthy protein sources called “fish”? (I do.)

Aren’t you the same anti-beef screamers blogging hate from your comfy leather office chairs, wrapped in your fashionable leather belts above your kickin’ new leather pumps you bought because your celebrity idols (who sport fur and crocodile purses) grinned in a tabloid wearing the exact same Louboutins exiting sleek cowhide covered limo seats on their way to some liberal fundraiser shindig at some sushi bar that features poor dead smelly roe (that I used to strip from our Bristol Bay-caught fish, and in a Dillingham cannery I packed those castoff fish eggs for you while laughing with co-workers about the suckers paying absurdly high prices to party with the throw away parts of our wild seafood)? I believe you call those discarded funky eggs “caviar”.

Yeah, you’re real credible on this, PETA. A shame, because I’ll bet we agree on what I hope is the true meaning of your mission – respecting God’s creation and critters.

Isn't that homey? She used the word "critters."

And by the way, Obama never said he "enjoyed" eating dog. In his autobiography 'Dreams from my Father,' Obama wrote that he was "introduced to dog meat" while living in Indonesia as a child. While he wrote that he remembered the meat as "tough," he never says he enjoyed the experience. Gee, Palin getting something else wrong. I guess she still doesn't read much.

And so, PETA takes that snark and ups Ms. Palin with this sassy reply:

PETA simply believes that people shouldn’t step on dogs, and judging by the reaction that we’ve seen to Sarah Palin’s Instagram photo, we’re far from alone in that belief. Palin’s Facebook response shows us that she knows PETA about as well as she knows geography. Yes, we campaign against the Iditarod because when the dogs aren’t being driven—sometimes to death—most live chained or inside cages for their entire lives. And we’re a vegan organization, so we sit on pleather couches, wear stylish vegan kicks, and consider fish friends, not food. (Also, by the way, we just sent a case of vegan caviar to Vladimir Putin—and no, you can’t see his house from yours, Ms. Palin.) We have no reason to believe that the Palin companion animals aren’t ordinarily pampered, and we wish the entire family a peaceful and humane 2015.

Pat Robertson: You Can Get AIDS From Towels


On today's edition of The 700 Club, a viewer wrote to Robertson saying that God had called them to go on a mission trip to Kenya, but friends and family said it is too dangerous because of the recent Ebola outbreak. The writer wondered if the trip might be too dangerous due to disease like Ebola.

Robertson remarked that while there was not currently an outbreak of Ebola in Kenya, you could get AIDS.

From towels.

SRSLY.

“You might get AIDS in Kenya, people have AIDS, you’ve got to be careful,” he explained. “I mean, the towels could have AIDS.”

Fox News' Todd Starnes: Pastors will go to prison because of gay rights


Appearing on the Daystar program Joni, Fox News' outrageous Todd Starnes predicts that gay rights will lead to the imprisonment of pastors and restrictions on the freedom of speech, adding that Christians in America are being “persecuted” and “beat up” just like Chinese Christians.

During the same appearance, Starnes suggested that due to progress for gay rights, "man/dog marriage" is on the way...

SRSLY.
